Dear A,

Practices are slowly getting intense this month. The competition is drawing closer day by day. Although we still have about another month before the event, practices are getting more serious these days. Other than that, I'm kinda struggling a bit with balancing my practice schedule and classwork. I can't blame my sched because I signed up for a lot of performance events, but my classwork hours are being narrowed down. Well, it's only for about a month and a half, but no matter what I still gotta focus on my schoolwork. My grades will be at stake if I don't prioritize this.

How about you? I mean, about your grades. I'm doing good actually. They're still high so I just gotta maintain that. I suppose that you're doing well in there. You're smart so I'm sure you'll be able to manage your time in whatever way it's divided.

By the way, after the week of our competition we'll be having our semestral break. I'll be going to where you're at. Well, my family goes there all the time and we spend most of our vacations there. I keep thinking about seeing you. I mean, what if I see you. What would happen? I don't know when we'll meet again. It could be before or after the competition week. It can happen whenever, probably in the most unexpected timing. I hope I'll be prepared for that. I don't know what I'll do or what'll happen when that time comes, but I do hope that I'll at least be prepared for our next encounter.

Prepared physically, mentally, and hopefully emotionally too.

-J
